Chapter two: Spell 'Sanctum'

"Ok, children." Said their new teacher, Mr. Kraden (bun ba dun. I only know Garet's last name oo ) "Today, we learn the alphabet!" He started across the tile floor to get the foam letters for the lesson. On the way he slipped on Isaac's waterworks mess and almost fell down.

"Don't worry, Kraden! Let them get the letters!" Jenna volenteered Isaac and Garet.

"Isaac, it's your mess, would you clean it up and get the letter for me, now."

"Aww... but-"

"Do it!" Jenna fumed.

"But what if something goes wrong?!" Isaac protested.

Jenna glared and the boys listened, mopping up the water and getting the letters. Just then the bell rang.

"Recess!" They dispersed, leaving Isaac and Garet to the letters. As they were walking back over to Kraden, they jumped to see Menardi and Saturos picking on Jenna.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Garet yelled.

"Aw! They saw us!" Menardi whined.

"What'cha gonna do? TELL, like little babies?" Saturos taunted.

"How 'bout you give us those letters an we'll let 'er go?"

"Guys! Don't do it! The teacher'll get mad!" Jenna cried.

"Here, give them to me and your friend won't be hurt." Alex offered.

Garet nodded, grabbing the letters from Isaac and giving them to Alex.

He flipped through them. "Hey! You're missing one! there's no UU!"

"I'm right here!" Garet complained.

"No! The letter! UU!"

"Oh. You want it?"

"Go get it if you don't want Jenna to be hurt!"

"Ok!"

Garet scrambled off and grabbed the dropped letter W (double U, UU, get it?). Just then his pet rock Jerald fell out of his pocket.

"Ah! Jerald!" Garet shreiked.

"Menardi, maybe we should go, this guy's crazy."

"Right."

"But what about Jenna?!" Isaac jumped, Garet being too busy fretting over his pet rock.

"Yeah yeah yeah, Felix would hurt us if we hurt his little sister, so whatever."

"Yay!" Jenna ran off to play with the blocks.

"Come on, Isaac! We have to save Jenna!"

"But, Garet-"

"Come on! They have the letters too! Mr. K 'll get mad if we loose 'em! And with those letters, think of all the bad stuff they can write!"

"That nobody can read..." Isaac sighed, sadly following his friend out of the listening circle area after Saturos and Menardi, tripping over a stuffed animal on his way.

"AH! HELP ME! IT'S A WEIRD LOOKING... thing..." Isaac scooted away.

"Relax, it's just Tod, the leap frog! Let's take him along! He could be useful with the letters!"

Isaac moaned. They eventually met up with Ivan in the pretend Cardboard box city.

"Ivan! You have to help us find Menardi and Saturos! They have Jenna and the letters!" Garet waved his arms.

"No he doesn't, Je-"

"Don't worry guys. I had a weird dream like this last night, but we were all grown up and Jerald had a big eye and could talk. Just tell the teacher. We can care when we're older."

"ok." Isaac waddled off and told Kraden.
